A refreshingly funny comedy about the high school years, Easy A succeeds where many similar movies fail, moving beyond the dumb frat-boy jokes and the annoying girlie crushes.
Emma Stone plays Olive, a nice girl who ends up paying a price that gets higher and higher simply for being too altruistic. Stone is absolutely great in this role, and I cannot but root for her cachet to keep growing.
Of note are also Patricia Clarkson, Amanda Bynes and my beloved Lisa Kudrow, while the eye candy is effectively provided by the lovely Penn Badgley and Cam Gigandet, whose talent is often eclipsed by his striking good looks.
Easy A is a very nice comedy that, while not outstanding, is a pleasure to watch.
Grade: 7
